“I love catching the bus. The PASSPORT cards are really cool”

Tickets and fares
Catching one of our buses is not just easy, but great value for money too. To help you get about the city and surrounding area we have two zones. Zone 1 covers our services in Newport, while Zone 2 covers all those outside of the city. When travelling in either one of these zones you will pay a flat fare of £1.60 for a single journey. If you travel between both zones then you will pay £2 for a single journey. For further information about the zonal system including a zonal map click here. The only exception to our zonal system is for our X16 service, fares of which are charged at the same rate as for those travelling between both zones. The X25's existing fare structure applies for this service.
New Ticket Types
As part of our zonal system we have introduced new ticket types. The City Day gives you unlimited access to all services in Zone 1 for a full day, while the City Day Plus gives you access to all of the services in both Zones 1 & 2. We will shortly also be introducing two new PASSPORT cards: The standard PASSPORT card, which is green in colour, will give you unlimited travel in Zone 1 only and not journeys between both zones. The PASSPORT PLUS card, which is yellow, will give you unlimited travel in all zones. Those that have existing PASSPORT cards will not be charged to update to a new one. Any existing credit on your card will be valid until it expires though we will shortly be announcing details of a cut off point when you will not be able to add further credit to your card and will need to apply for a new one. Existing PASSPORT cards will be valid in both zones until the introduction of the new cards.
